It is incredible. It is a middleware for Sound not 3D. I'm not sure it si real time.

Whoa, what the hell just happened there? A lot of geometry & some nice texturing.

These guys have been around a while haven't they? Dunno where someone like me would've stumbled across their name before (obviously round these parts?) but I'm pretty sure I have.

CRI is a sound japanese company, they are doing middleware for sound processing. I'im not sure it is "real time" apart of the sound.

I think it is a cg for illustrate the sound quality.

My bad. Watched it without any sound (my gf's asleep two foot from me!).

This'll be going above & beyond, but could you give an indication of what they're offering? No probs if not - I can wait til I can listen as well as watch.

Now where did I put that embarrassed emoticon...

It's probably FMV, but the point is that CRI makes video/audio codecs that are supposed to be pretty high quality and tend to be less likely to screw up when you do things like looping or arbitrary seeking. They're probably trying to illustrate that they've got their codecs to a point where an HD stream can come out looking more or less unnoticeable in artifacts or anything else on their software decoder. Also, from the soundtrack, I'm guessing they might be demoing something involving asynchronous multi-stream playback of audio (it seems like it's an identical audio track played at two different delay times... but for all I know, it could just be that the music is supposed to sound like that). Given the description on their website, they might also be demonstrating that some of the processing of the audio might be done at runtime?

CRI may seem familiar from their FMV codecs used in many SEGA games and also games in general for SEGA's old systems. CRI is a part of the the Japanese mega corporation, CSK -- CRI stands for CSK Research Institute, -- which used to also own SEGA.
